What is a used car part?
A used car part is a component that is no longer being used. This can be anything from a bad part, to a part that simply needs repairing. There are many examples of how used car parts can be useful. For instance, we recently sold a front end right side airbag. The item had almost 50,000km on it and was falling apart. We sold it on and received a substantial discount as it was in such a poor condition. The reason we were able to sell it for so little was because it was no longer under warranty. A used car part will come with a condition certificate and it is our job to test and inspect each part to ensure it is fit for purpose. Our parts are all provided with a date of manufacture stamped on them and the packaging the parts arrive in, even for used cars, is tamper evident.
How can I go second hand?
Buying a car is a big decision for any car owner, and one that should be made after considering a number of factors. In order to ensure your purchase is a good one you need to be aware of the risks of buying a new part. Car parts can be recalled by manufacturers at any time, and they will often provide very little in the way of information about what may have gone wrong. As a result, it’s extremely important to buy parts from a used car parts dealer who can offer you accurate service and price quotes.
